When I listen to stuff, the sound seems to be coming from the back right of me. Is this a defect or characteristic of stereo headphones?

The only thing I can think of is possibly a bad (or even an incomplete) connection with the input jack. Otherwise the stereo output should respond exactly as the audio is panned. Have you tried plugging it into any other device? If so, and you get the same problematic results, chances are then they are indeed defective. Good luck!

Yes. It is normal. If you need better sound proofing, you should get a closed back headphone instead...

I'd like to know the same. It happened to me exactly you described and my headphone only plays on one side and it's very disturbing to have to fixed it every other stroke.If you find that out let me know. TksClaudia

Yeah, that happens with these and every wired earbud. Try looking for some Bluetooth headsets if it bothers you that much.

First thing I would try is fiddling with the headphone plug in. Try sticking the plug in and pushing towards the edges, and see if the noise changes while you do that. Second it could be noise from the system, try a different audio source too.

I never have had a problem. All I can think of is it may be hooked up backwards on the in and out cable. If you have sound then it is not backwards.

No, It didn't have this kind of problem. the sound is great. just one point, they do not fit very well in your ears.

I notice a bit, but it is not so audible as to be a problem. At least for me it isn't. But, as they say, your results may vary. I would guess it would relate to the buds you are using. I use a very good, but not great, set of Sennheisers.

I have not tried a headphone, however with my electronic experience, I believe that with your standard stereo headphones, the sound will come from only one of the earpieces. Radio Shack may have an adapter plug that could send sound to both left & right channels. You must keep in mind that this radio is one channel referred to as MONO, whereas STEREO is two channels. Hope this clarifies your question.

Yes. I had that problem. I think it's because of charge induced in the cable from static electricity or could be from bending of the cable. I love the sound, best pair I have owned..had to return them because control button induced noise and commanded iPhone to go to next song. They need to adopt Bose cable system. Bose does not have isolalation which is a problem in noisy environments like a gym; but Bose provides true surround sound with with their speaker on the outside of your ear.

The sound is supposed to be in stereo (left & right channels). If you want to it split into 2 sources, then the sound is no longer stereo but you achieve your objective of having 2 sources of sound.

No its not. I own a pair and mine was never done that. They will get some distortion like they are trying to pick up another wavelength or something. That's the only problem I've had out of mine and that has only happens once.

I seem to have the same problem. I am not well versed in audio components and assume that that must be normal. I am hopeful someone will have a better answer or can offer a solution.

I tried the Y adapter, but on my unit it makes 1 side of the headphones much louder than the other. If I connect to one side only, the sound only comes out of 1 side of my headphones. Too bad- this could be the perfect stereo!

There might be some leakage. I know that other people say they can hear my music when I have the volume high. But not too bad though. These are pretty nice for the price, though. I'd buy them again for this price.

The only other thing I would check are the volume knobs on the side of the earpieces. If that doesn't work then I think you may have a faulty pair.

That seems to be normal for these headphones. Mine also are bass heavy, and other reviewers have said the same.
